Dolce & Belcanto is an original show where opera, ballet and haute couture fashion come together in a theatrical production. In this three-person touring extravaganza, we combine opera’s most beloved duets and exciting ballet dances with haute couture fashion.
Dolce & Belcanto is a show with a fashion twist: all our costumes are our own creations! We've designed and made them all from scratch!
We are professional artists soprano Melanie Krueger, mezzo-soprano Elena Razlog, ballet dancer Stanislav Galimkhanov and pianist Irina Konstantinova. Dolce & Belcanto is truly a fusion of “opera and ballet for all”, a format adapted for audiences of all backgrounds and artistic tastes, without compromising the high standards of our art.
Princesses, fairies, talking animals, enchanted dolls are all possible in the realm of fairy tales. In the world of opera and ballet, things are no different. Enter into our fairy tale where characters transform through magic into whatever the story needs them to be. In this program, soprano, Melanie Krueger (soprano), Elena Razlog (mezzo-soprano) and Stanislav Galimkhanov (ballet dancer) accompanied by Irina Konstantinova (piano) will take the audience into the wonderful world of magic and transformation!
Through a series of opera and ballet duets and trios, with whimsical costumes created by the artists, the audience will see and hear how things aren’t always what they seem. A series of transformable costumes will seamlessly take the performers into the following scenes.
Dolce & Belcanto is a flexible, adapted to to the current circumstances, a "covid-friendly" show that follows all associated requirements and can be performed at any venue.
Performed with a piano accompaniment, we are also collaborating with orchestras for different occasions. We've also had a privilege to perform with the established pianists Richard Epp (UBC Opera), Kinza Tyrrell (Vancouver Opera) and Tina Chang (Vancouver Opera).
